14 days post op and I feel great.

Limited soft foods for the next 4 weeks, then gradually add meat and other stuff back in.

So blessed and thankful!!

Praying for everyone!

2 weeks post op-experimenting with allowed foods-some really don't agree with me

Banana's make me feel nauseous

Tuna I need to puree it more it appeared to stick somewhere

Feeling good and losing weight

Hi folks - Had the surgery on 6/11. Started the pre-op testing (cardio,pulmonary, specialists, psych, etc.) back in January but hit a snag with insurance that postponed my date for over a month. Started in mid-January at 348 lbs: date of surgery weight was 295 ( thanks to an extended liquid diet because of the delay ) and now around 290. Its only been 5 days so my body must be going through an adjustment. I'm staying off the scale for a while until I start feeling more "normal" again.

Hi guys,

I start my pre-op diet tomorrow. And I must say I am very nervous about this surgery as it is becoming real the closer I get. I am having moments where I want to back out......

Hey guys,

5 days post op.. Confused!!! Never feel hungry, but also when i start sipping never feel full.. I sip insanely slow.. Maybe thats why???

I barely get 40-41 oz a day, and my dr told me 80!!!! Its just too hard, if you drink fast-you know what happens..

I will start my protein shakes tomorrow.

Almost 10 pounds lost so far from surgery day.

Feeling nervous is normal; just keep reminding yourself why you want to do this. I had my moments, too, but now that I'm 2 weeks post-op, I feel much better, and am very happy I went through with it.

I am excited for you Kbrown! Good luck & wishing you a speedy recovery.

You will do great!

Thank you so much

Hey guys!

Just got my surgery done on the 14th,

2 days ago.

I'm a little bit sore but okay, waking up from the anesthesia is the worst part but it gets better by the hour.

I'm still having a really hard time getting in my 2 liters but i'm better than yesterday. Trying to keep a positive attitude ☺

Thanks for the encouragement.

For those of you who are running a low grade fever, without any other symptoms. Get up and move more, feel your lungs up with plenty of oxygen, and increase water. Good Luck......

I have surgery on Wednesday June 18th. Lost 40 lbs on pre op diet. getting sick of protein shakes. Real nervous about surgery. All of this information was a great read and very helpful.
